Upgraded 2 days ago from the series 7, and I am in love with it. The form, the screen, the unique face, the band - it’s the perfect watch. I feel much more free now to leave my phone behind and the battery life has been incredible so far. Selling my Seamaster as I’ll never wear it now.

What face is that ? From Facer or no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Got one last Friday and absolutely love it. Honestly, I got it because I liked how it looked, couldn't care less all the other shit it does.

Same for me but that battery and form factor have me hooked. I tried on a friends S8 and it seemed so tiny to me. My U1 is going strong and I only take it off to charge while in shower.

That band is horrible I think

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I've always had the smaller watch and started amassing a collection of bands (38mm 0 and 3, 40mm 5, and 41mm 8). Had no intention of ever getting the bigger size, because I thought smaller looked better and I had my bands.

I don't know what got into me, but I picked up an Ultra 2 last week and I am so loving it. Now I'm ordering new bands! And it absolutely does not look too big, turns out my wrist aren't small, and the smaller watch may have actually been too small for my wrists. I wore my Series 5 yesterday and it looked tiny.

I simply have small wrists. Just genetics. I think that would look ridiculous on me.

Hey nice ultra!! Can you put this face on the ultra 1?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

How much do you want for the Seamaster ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I used mechanical watches and kept needing my watches serviced. I finally went Apple Ultra 2 also. Happy with my decision.

Once the contract for my series 8 is up I’m gonna grab one I think

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Scotland - degrees Celsius to be clear

aaaah okay didn’t think of that haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Looks good bro. Personally I’d go with textile velcro wristband.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Did the same as you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Jeah looks like any generic apple watch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Slow down on selling the Seamaster… it’s also a great watch and will be in 5 years from now. The ultra 2? Not so much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Im glad this was the first comment I found when scrolling down😂 love my other watches, it kinda bothers me that I’m barely wearing my seiko that I absolutely love or a Gshock but I’m keeping and wearing them from time to time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I just got the ultra 1 first ever apple watch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

How’s battery life so far?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Very nice. Welcome to the club!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I love that watch face. Unfortunately the Ultra is just too large for my tiny wrist, but it if wasn’t… would purchase it right away.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Love that strap. What is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Welcome to the club

Man I should have gotten the orange. I mean I can still buy it but I think orange would have been nice, currently rocking the blue. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The orange ocean band looks better than I thought

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any issues seeing the watch face data when in a dark room? I have U2 and perhaps it’s my eyes but it just seems awfully dim and no way to adjust this

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

This unfortunately is a known issue with the U2 with no fix currently
